Edinburgh Room
Dazzle Ship Scotland
The Dazzle Ship, “Every Woman”, was created by artist Ciara Phillips for the 2016 Edinburgh Art Festival, to commemorate the use of dazzle camouflage in countering the U-boat threat during the First and Second World Wars. The ship’s camouflage pattern was not an authentic example of its kind, but an artist’s impression of one.
The Dazzle Ship was based on the former lighthouse support vessel, MV Fingal, which has since been converted into the boutique floating hotel “Fingal” moored in the Alexandra Dock in Leith.
